I am pleased to announce the addtion of Alberto Villa to the FreeBSD KDE team. Alberto has been an active contributor on the mailing lists, and now he will be directly contributing to the area51 repository.

Renato Botelho, aka garga, and I picked up the gauntlet and put together the compat7x port for the upcoming release of FreeBSD 8.

We initially targeted a small audience, and gradually extended our scope. We are now looking for more testers. Those inclined to give it a try are encouraged to download the shar from http://people.freebsd.org/~tabthorpe/patches/misc-compat7x-7.2.702000.200908.shar
